Why Tech Demands a Gender Balance

In a recent Forbes survey, it was found nearly 40% of the U.S. tech industry has females, while in San Francisco, only 22.9% of the workforce is female. This is a gaping disparity -- but more importantly and in my opinion, an definition problem.

This Tornado Shall Pass

In life, when there is a crisis, there are two things we usually do. We quietly sit and wait for the tornado to pass over our heads, or we blame it for ruining our lives.
